Will the Walrus Follow the Buffalo
to Oblivion?
The killing off of the walrus had
far more than anything else to. do
with the peril of starvation: which
menaced the very existence of the
Alaska Eskimos only a few years ago.
Reindeer, imported from Siberia, have
saved them, but to them the loss of
the gigantic marine mammal is a re-
ally dreadful misfortune. :
The walrus is one of the most use-
ful creatures provided by: a bountiful
providence for the benefit of mankind,
and since time immemorial it has
been the main dependence of the Es-
kimos in Alaska. .
There are today comparatively few
walrus left alive, and’ the prospect: is
that before long this valuable species
will be virtually exterminated. 'Per-
sistent slaughter has reduced its num-
bers to such a point that there is no
longer much profit in hunting it for
commercial purposes—wherein lies
the only Hope for its survival.
Hunters seek the beast for its
tusks, which are of very fine ivory;
for its hide, which makes “first-rate
leather, and even for its whiskers,
which: furnish picks for opium pipes.
To the Eskimo it is (or was) food,
clothing, house, utensils (from bones
and tusks) and most other necessa-
ries of life. i |
More than half a century ago the
whalers, responding to a commercial
demand for ivory, turned their atten-
tion to the walrus and proceeded to
wipe them out systematically.” Some-
times as many as 2000 of the animals
were slaughtered on a single cake of
ice merely for their tusks. Thus to-
day a walrus is hardly to be found in
waters where
the creatures used to be
so numerous that their bellowings
were heard above the roar of the
yaves and the grinding of the ice
oes. :
The poor animals had no chance at
‘all. Usually the method adopted was
| to approach a herd of walrus ‘on the
ice, and after picking off the most
alert bulls from a safe distance with
! Motortruck’s Life in Hands of Driver.
The truck driver who pays no at-
{ more than his salary that his salary
1is a comparatively small item of ex-
ense. The driver who treats his
truck with less consideration than he
would treat a horse is a big liability.
‘It is a common practice for drivers
to engage the transmission gears,
| preparatory to starting, and then en-
: gage the clutch so quickly that the
‘ power of the motor is applied to the
‘final drive instantaneously, subject-
.ing every part of the mechanism to a
very severe strain. Here is an illus-
tration of the effect of this practice:
Suppose that the rear wheels of the
truck are so fastened or secured to
the ground that it is impossible to
turn them. Leaving them in this con-
dition, start the engine, release the
clutch, engage the first speed gear re-
duction, and, with the engine running
| at about 600 revolutions per minute,
engage the clutch suddenly. The play
between the transmission gears, the
universal joints and the final drive
gears is first taken up by the power
applied and the strain travels from
that point all along the line back te
the first cylinder of the engine.
Unless a truck is built and so bal-
j anced as to partially overcome this
abuse, its life will be short, and no
! matter how well a truck may be con-
“structed, the driver’s carelessness is
i bound -to show up sooner or later in
[large repair bills, numerous replace-
ments of parts and inefficient deliv-
| ery service.
! With this responsibility on the
| driver’s shoulders, the owner cannot
profitably overlook him. The manner
in which the driver works his clutch,
the manner in which he cares for it |
rand the regard with which he treats
"his position should determine whether
you have the right man or whether
. you are in the market for a new driv-

| HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA.
|
Catarrh Does Harm
Whether it is of the Nose, Throat, or |
! Other Organs, Get Rid of It.
| Catarrh of the nose or throat when |
{it becomes chronic weakens the deli-
| cate lung tissues, deranges the diges-
| tive, organs, and may lead to con-
| sumption. It impairs the taste, smell |
| and hearing, and affects the voice. It
{is a constitutional disease and re- |
quires a constitutional remedy. |
Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which |
by purifying the blood removes the
| cause of the disease and gives per-
! manent relief. This alterative and |
| tonic medicine has proved entirely |
satisfactory to thousands of families |
lin three generations. |
| If there is biliousness or constipa- |
| tion, take Hood’s Pills,—they are a!

HAS WON PLACE OF HONOR
Salvation Army's Work for Fifty-Four
Years Recognized as Worthy of
the Highest Praise.
Except for the war the Salvation
Army would have celebrated its fiftieth
birthday four years ago, but there
could hardly have been a better re-
minder of what the army had done
and become in a half century than the
recent award of the Victoria Cross to
three Salvation Army soldiers for thelr
Service in France. Fifty-four years
ago things were very different; the
first appearances of the salvationists
aroused opposition, rowdies tried to
break up the meetings, and on at least
one occasion members of the future
army were arrested in England as
“disturbers of the peace.” Originally
simply an attempt to make converts !
by outdoor preaching, the movement
which William Booth started in July. |
1865, was put on a military basis and
became the Salvation Army in 1878,
since which time it has grown from
75 corps in England to about 9,000
corps and outposts in more than 60
countries. The army was officially
recognized by King Edward VII when
he received the founder at Bucking-
ham palace in 1904; a different yet re-
markable “official recognition”
curred quite recently when a tableau
honoring the Salvation Army was made
the climax of the current “Ziegfeld
Follles" on Broadway.
